First you'll need a source for your coupons. I have the Sunday, Chicago Tribune delivered, they have the most coupons in their paper. When there are a lot of coupons in the paper or good coupons I go out and buy additional papers. You can get The Sunday Tribune at the Dollar General store for $1.00.
Don't overlook friends and family. Before I started to coupon I would save the coupon inserts in the paper for my daughter. Ask them to save the inserts for you.
I also scour websites for printable coupons. I have many coupons here that you can print, coupons.com. This site has high value and pertinent coupons. They only allow two coupons per offering and you will have to print a small application to print on this site.
Manufacturers are using social media sites to promote their products and if you visit these sites some of the times there is a coupon available. Here are some printable coupons I found at various facebook sites.
The actual grocery store is a great place to find coupons these are called hang tags, peelies and blinkies.
- Hang tags are usually on tear off pads near the product or hanging right on the product.
- Peelies are affixed to the product.
- Blinkies are inside a little machine that is connected to the shelf near a product.
There are a few other sites for printable coupons.
smartsource.com
redplum.com
target.com
The Jargon
When writing about the deal and the coupon I need to use abbreviations or it will be a very long post. Here is what all of the little codes mean.
SS=Smart Source from the newspaper insert
SS printable=printable from the SmartSource website
RP=Red Plum from the newspaper insert
RP printable= printable from the Red Plum website you can also load these to your store card.
GM=General Mills insert from the newspaper insert
P&G=Proctor & Gamble from the newspaper insert
